Post up your cheap paint jobs!

There are definitely some nice paint jobs on here, showing that for a driver you can do it & do it relatively inexpensively. And xlexi is right, it's the body work underneath and prep that's done. In my case, after all the body work was done, primered and blocked out it was "months" before the paint was done. It worked out for me as I had plenty of other work to do. I painted it all in pieces except for the clear, I hung the doors and fenders before painting the black and putting the stripes on, I cleared over the stripes.

How's it holding up you ask? Can't say yet. It was painted in the early summer of 2010 and I just last week got it on the road. What a feeling!
